I really liked how you did this. I was in painting class last year and did a really cool balerina painting. It looks really bad but I still like it.

I liked this poem. I have never seen one quite like this and I am sure it took some time to complete. Thanks for showing me a new way of doing things.

This is clever. Yes, the poem does look like the ballerina dancing. Nicely done. For a similar poem, you might like to read my poem, "Hula," which is in my portfolio, in Chapter 40 of my book, "Fun with Poetry." It is fun to try new things, isn't it?

Wow. This poem must have taken a lot of time and work. The idea is very charming. I love the idea of ballerinas dancing on the window sill. Excellent imagery and mechanics here. bard owl

    Graph paper! It helps immensely. I've tried to do this before without a guide and it was impossible. This year I finally mastered (sort of anyways) the microsoft spread sheet. I can actually see what I'm doing. I always write the poem first ,then write it out on the graph. The graph allows you to create cells that fit the font and gives you a center to work from. I try to keep the poems short because some of your work is going to be vertical and I don't want to create a huge scroll. The drawback of writng this way is you have to re-write it on microsoft word, this is where your graph becomes a huge asset because it solves your spacing issues.... The worst part of all of this is "The Editor". It is friend and foe ( though mostly FOE) The editor is a vicious word and letter manipulator that can destroy your hard work in seconds, as you are well aware. I was lucky to escape with my life. ..... Anyways.., I'm glad you enjoyed the poem and the art. Thanks so much for the great review.... I think I'm going to lie down now. LOL Helvi :o)
